I am also struggling with an android tablet - can anyone tell me in words of one syllable how to update to the latest android without bricking the damned thing?

What would I like to do with it? NB I don't want to PAY for any of this.

Get email like with a blackberry.
Look at fakebonk and use fakebonk messaging (I think I have cracked that but it does not exactly workalike).
word processing and spreadsheets. I think I MAY have cracked this.
in a perfect world pick up phone txt mssgs.
sat-nav (with vocal commentary). Quite important to me, so far system - 1:   Bridge - 0.
Wi-Fi - I think I have cracked this.
Use with a mobile internet dongle occasionally - this seems to be very hi-tech and not easy.
Use as camera/videorecorder/skype terminal.

Go on, I'll go for the big one - voice recognition - which seems to have got steadily WORSE on PCs since IBM Viavoice disappeared.


Oh - can I make it work as a 'phone?
